What a night it was. And so full of tears! Everyone was crying about something. Jennifer Hudson seemed to be crying during her tribute to Whitney Houston, Adele was crying when she won pretty much every major awards, I was crying because I know I can never be as talented as Bon Iver, etc.
Adele was the clear winner of the night taking home awards for Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Pop Solo Performance, Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Short Form Music Video. Damn girl. She was just collecting them Grammys like they’re candy. The Foo Fighters also did quite well winning Best Rock Performance, Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance, Best Rock Song, Best Rock Album and Best Long Form Music Video.
Even our little Taylor Swift got lucky winning Best Country Solo Performance and Best Country Song. The most entertaining part of the night, well one of them, was the fact that Kanye West won 3 major awards and wasn’t there to give some crazy ass speech about it.
But the Grammys aren’t just about the awards. Oh no. If anything the awards are secondary to all the performances, and this year was no exception. After news hit late yesterday afternoon that powerhouse singer Whitney Houston passed away it was announced that Jennifer Hudson would do the honors of a tribute. And a tribute it was. Jennifer gave us her own rendition of “I Will Always Love You” and while it obviously couldn’t measure up to Whitney’s performances of it, it still gave viewers chills (watch the performance after the jump). Plus, you could tell just how heartbroken she was.
Also, have I mentioned Adele is back? After having throat surgery which left her essentially mute for two months, Adele broke her silence with a crazy good performance of “Rolling in the Deep”. I love Adele. She’s cute, funny, shy, she sings like no other and you know she’s not taking any of her fame lightly. She really killed it tonight and the world is more than happy to have her back.
